GroVia Hybrid Review

Grovia call their all-in-two diapers – hybrid. This is a more up to date diapering system that you can adapt for your needs. They offer a number of cloth and eco-friendly disposable soaker options which attach to a soft, comfy waterproof outer shell, then fastens around your baby like a disposable.

Soaker Pads have 4 layers of cotton/hemp with a sot micro fleece top and waterproof base.

Waterproof shell in attractive colour ways.

Incorporates a stay-dry mesh layer on the inside.

GroVia Bioliners make it easy to dispose of ‘solids’ into the toilet.

Laundering as easy as washing towels.

Shells can be reused 2-3 times before requiring washing.

GroVia recommends for full time diapering a minimum of 12 shells and 24 soaker pads for each baby, maybe increasing to 14-16 shells with 36 soaker pads. It will cost around $450-$600 to diaper for 2-3 years per child. However this is significantly cheaper than using traditional diapers over the two years which could run into a bill of 5 x the cost of cloth diapers.

As I said before I am not advocating this for twins and triplets, I know that time is short for us multiple moms, but its worth a consideration – it is good for the Earth and family finances.

BUYING ADVICE

UK Hybrid Package

USA Live Package

Try out first with the GroVia Hybrid Experience Package ? and should you decide you want to give it a go. You dont have to go the whole way and be completely cloth, just use them part of the time. Grovia have a ‘Part Time Package’ which would be fine for a single baby but not if you have two or three. I would suggest getting one ‘Grovia Live package’ which will give you 12 shells plus 24 soakers and 4 boosters. Try them for a few days and see how you get on.

VERDICT

The All-In-Two (AI2) diaper is easy to use, and offers the ability to customise the absorbency through the day/night. The shells can be reused through the day, just change the soaker pad, offering a cheaper system for parents of multiples. With the fact that the soaker pads do not require any prewashing before use, this is a very convenient system. The soakers snap into place and disposable biosoakers are available too for those travelling days. Can be an expensive outlay.
